High School Very simple relativity questions
So now people are saying that it is IMPOSSIBLE that one clock can be showing the same time as another clock which is in a different place? And that ten thousand billion trillion clocks all over the universe would each show a time that wasn't even approximately the same as any other? There is...- Loonwolf

High School Very simple relativity questions
OK, I give up then, I'm never going to get my answer. It's a simple question. The two clocks showed the same time in the beginning. Whether they could or couldn't be synchronised in any "frame-independent way" when they are far away is irrelevant - I was specifically asking for the answer in the...- Loonwolf

High School Very simple relativity questions
For example, the spacecraft are moving towards each other (or else one is moving while the other is still, it makes no difference), then the two clocks can be next to each other for a moment if you REALLY need them to be. It just seems to me people are making excuses why they can't answer...- Loonwolf

High School Very simple relativity questions
The clocks do not have to be next to each other, just their values compared, wherever they are. There is no gravity, no firing of rocket engines, etc. It seems people are trying to create confusion where there is none. I will start again and simplify the question... There are two twins in...- Loonwolf

High School Very simple relativity questions
You seem to be avoiding the questions I am asking! Xezlec claimed "Of course when he gets out of the car he will be younger than the rest of us." Speaking of a very fast car instead of a spacecraft , but the same applies. Is this true? But from the point of view/experience/frame of...- Loonwolf

By "point of view" I mean "in the experience". Forget about the turning around and coming back then. But that should make no difference anyway, only the relative speeds and the fact time time slows down for moving objects relative to stationary ones. People claim if a spaecraft travels...- Loonwolf

High School Very simple relativity questions
This question has puzzled me for years. Can anyone give an answer that makes sense? Two spacecraft , A and B are next to each other in space. They synchronise their clocks. They both start moving away from each other at immense speed. From the point of view of spacecraft A, it is...- Loonwolf
